Herb: Saying Goodbye To SR Gig

I have been writing for the Spokesman-Review since The beginning of the
Prairie Voice and subsequently, the Handle Extra. That, if I remember
correctly, was the spring of 2007. April to be precise. In the
beginning, I wrote news and features for Bayview, then included Athol as
well as a few stories from Spirit Lake. At the time, I was writing at
least two and sometimes more stories per week. Then the paper
started cutting back. First, I was down to two to three stories a month,
then the Prairie Voice was discontinued. I then started covering a
little more territory and was published in the "Handle Extra." At the
end of December, the Handle Extra will cease publication, and me with
it. It has been a great run/Herb Huseland, Bay Views. More here.

Question: Have you ever been paid to free-lance for a newspaper or magazine?
